Single Men Confess The 6 Most Frustrating Aspects of Dating

I could probably talk all day every day for a month straight about the things that frustrate me about dating. But hey, since that's pretty much what I do here on Smitten anyway, let's give the guys a chance to air their grievances, OK?

32% of the men in the survey said that they are confused about what to say and when to send a text, and that’s the most frustrating part of trying to start a new relationship. I don’t know about you, but I’m super relieved to hear that guys overanalyze this too.

22% said that having a conversation with a woman and the awkwardness of the end-of-night kiss is the worst.

18% said awkward first kiss situations are frustrating. I’m sort of unclear on the distinction between this and the above. I guess this is like, the kiss itself is awkward as opposed to deciding to go in for it? To which I say: Takes two to make an awkward kiss, buddy.

12% said approaching women in the first place is a major cause of anxiety. We are intimidating creatures, after all.

10% of men chose the times when women see them as a friend and not a love interest as the most frustrating.

6% said the most annoying was when they hit it off with a woman, but then she finds someone she likes better.
